The Surface Go 2 has a bigger 10.5-inch 1920 x 1280 (3:2) PixelSense display that is really vibrant for a budget screen even though it only manages a peak brightness of 280nits (120nits less than the Ideapad Duet Chromebook from Lenovo).

This clearly moves the device out of the budget Chromebook space when you add the $199 Surface Keyboard, but we’d recommend considering it if you intend to update to Windows 10 Home from the device’s stock Windows 10 S OS. The next tier up doubles the RAM and storage allocations for a total of AU$879.

While this model only offers Wi-Fi networking and doesn’t carry a heap of storage space, the Surface Go 2 does feature a MicroSD card expansion slot, to allow you to add cost effective storage as you see fit. The most affordable Surface Go 2 you can grab locally starts at AU$598, and comes with an Intel Pentium 4425Y processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, which is an offering that seriously competes with some of the best Chromebooks available. There are a couple of minor setbacks like the single USB Type-C port (it comes with a C-to-3.5mm headphone adapter) and a slow ~100MB/s flash memory at 128GB without the option for microSD card expansion, but at least Google offers 100GB of online storage to new users, which alleviates some of the pain here.

Battery life was pretty good too, lasting five hours and 31 minutes in gaming benchmarks and seven hours and 45 minutes in 1080p movie playback. If you’re a tab hoarder, you’ll probably hit the upper limits of the device’s MediaTek P60T 8-core processor and the 4GB of RAM pretty quickly, but anyone who’s happy to keep things to just a handful of tabs on a few desktops shouldn’t really have any issues. The 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 pixel display looks vibrant and offers a 400nit peak brightness and other than the overly small right hand side keys the keyboard is easy enough to type on and comes with a nicely sized, smooth-to-touch trackpad. While we definitely prefer the hardware from Microsoft, Chrome OS is a much richer operating system than Windows 10S to use with a lightweight 2-in-1, especially if you already use Gmail or any of the other G Suite apps. If you put it up next to a Microsoft Surface Go 2, you’d probably notice that the Chromebook’s keyboard was fractionally harder to type on, the back panel stand made it a little heavier and they run different operating systems, but that’s not a lot when you consider that the Surface Go 2 starts at AU$629 (or AU$829 with keyboard) and the Ideapad Duet Chromebook comes with keypad and stand case for AU$599. We were pretty blown away by Lenovo’s Ideapad Duet Chromebook.
